“After careful consideration, we have chosen the Legon Stadium to host this season’s final,” Arthur stated in an interview with Akoma FM.

He highlighted logistical challenges, such as the unavailability of the Tarkwa TNA Stadium, leading to the decision to use the backup plan of hosting the semi-finals in Sogakope.

Arthur emphasized the importance of the Legon Stadium and expressed the committee’s intention to use it for future semi-finals and finals, pending approval from the ExCo.

Defending champions Dreams FC won their title by defeating King Faisal 2-0 in the finals, earning a spot in Africa.

The University of Ghana Sports Stadium, inaugurated on March 2, 2024, has already proven itself by successfully hosting matches of the Africa Games Men’s Football tournament held in Accra just two months ago.

It has also been selected to host the upcoming 2024 U-17 WAFU Zone B competition, further solidifying its status as a premier venue for football events in the region.

The selection of the University of Ghana Sports Stadium demonstrates the Ghana Football Association’s commitment to improving the football experience for players and fans, promising an exciting atmosphere for the conclusion of the FA Cup season.
